This is probably due to your video card and its driver, either update it to the latest, also check if you have the latest flash player installed it either does not help you can try this that has helped many with a similar problem.

Start a video on youtube and before it freezes right click on the video playing and choose properties. This will open the properties of the f;ash player, uncheck the box where it says "enable harware acceleration" save and close.



Hope this will help

Additionally - is there only the ONE crash dump.

That MAY indicate that you have deleted other crash dump files, OR there is a severe lack of free space on the hard drive.
From a previous thread on THIS computer I think.

%SystemDrive% = C: | %SystemRoot% = C:\WINDOWS | %ProgramFiles% = C:\Program Files
Drive C: | 232,88 Gb Total Space | 5,44 Gb Free Space | 2,34% Space Free | Partition Type: NTFS

Apologies for the interjection.

I will leave the matter with my colleague Alzeimer. You are in good hands.

@Alzeimer: I updated my video card drivers to the latest version...I checked for the Flash player and I have the latest update...I also unchecked that box...seems it works...I watched some videos on YouTube and all is fine for now...Thank you very much for this...

@Macboatmaster: There were couple of crash dumps and happened from time to time....True...it was a severe lack of free space on this computer from a previous thread...I deleted all files and uninstall all programs which I didn't need in that time so now I have half of all space free...Thank you too...

I appreciate help from both of you...in case BSOD will appear again I will inform you in next days!
